The Union Matters More Than Brexit

The Telegraph reports that a Whitehall shake-up is underway to make sure that saving the
Union from Scottish independence is at the heart of Brexit negotiations.

Philip Rycroft (the country’s most senior civil servant head of the UK Governance Group - tasked with defending the UK - will move into the Brexit Department), will
scrutinise every Brexit decision to make sure it does not undermine the
Union.

All very well and dandy, but at some stage a there will be a conflict between Brexit needs and Union needs.
